Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said that terrorists in
Aleppo continue to shell intensively the residential areas and
humanitarian corridors.
Russian Aerospace Defense Forces and Syrian Air Force have not
flown over Aleppo for 13 days, Russian Defense Ministry’s official
spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Sunday.
"Russian and Syrian aircraft have not performed any flights over
the city of Aleppo for 13 days already. For comparison, the US-led
international coalition has delivered nine airstrikes over the last
24 hours at residential quarters of the Iraqi city with a
population of over one million people — Mosul. In order to make it
clear how discriminate these airstrikes were and whether the
coalition observes international humanitarian law, I will noted
that two out of nine airstrikes at city’s districts were delivered
by B-52H strategic bombers," Konashenkov said.
He added that terrorists in Aleppo continue to shell intensively
the residential areas and humanitarian corridors. "However, last
night 12 Syrians managed to move to safe districts through one of
the corridors, in Al-Masharqa," Konashenkov noted. "According to
refugees, it became possible after a bribe to one of field
commanders at a price of 150,000 Syrian liras (around $300) for
every person. In order to collect 1.8 million liras, the three
families had to sell all their belongings," he said.
